STEEL AND MISCELLANEOUS STEEL MECHANICAL TESTING AND UNIVERSAL TESTERS

Electromechanical Universal Testers, 50 and 100 kN capacity suitable for any kind of
test that requires load and/or displacement control.
They are proposed in different versions, all suitable for compression and 70-T1082
flexural tests, plus some individual feature as specified: Standard series, 50 kN cap.

These models feature a robust and compact two-column frame which

is fitted with an upper crossbeam that can be set at various heights de-
pending on the accessories to be used. The jack is driven by a DC motor
controlled by the microprocessor.
The load jack, DC motor and controls are housed in the ergonomic base 70-T1082 with CBR accessories
